Instead of Chocolate – Give a Red Pen!

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching I started to think – instead of giving your loved one a box of chocolates why not give a red fountain pen?  And then that got me thinking – what red fountain pens do I have in my collection?  Quite a few actually.  I know the Parker Duofold Big Red looks orange but I am counting in the red group.  There is a red Parker 61 with a lustraloy cap and one with a gold cap.  There’s a Parker English Duofold, a Parker 21, a Parker Eversharp, a Sheaffer Snorkel, a Sheaffer Triumph, an Esterbrook J series, a Conway Stewart, a Sailor, a vintage Mont Blanc and Mont Blanc 145.  Oh, and a red Parker Vacumatic.  Now you might think I have a thing for red fountain pens!  Well, you are right!  By the way, does anyone have a UK made blood red Parker 51 for sale?  If so, give me a shout!
Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Collecting!
